ok..after figuring this simple stuff out about macros and intake of fats/protein/carbs to get to my lean body mass is actually fairly simple... and I honestly was on track but I wasnt near to the amount of fat i need to be intaking....Here is todays numbers so far......

Carbs 14% 215 kCal
Protein 19% 295 kCal
Fats 70% 1082 kCal
Alcohol 0

Totals= Protein-73.67 grams Carbs-53.87 grams Fat-120.23 grams

Have been eating fruit this past week in moderation in the am...usually dont eat much fruit so usual carb intake is probably around 15-20 grams. Today i didnt have much of a breakfast due to was runnin late for school so did a serving of my whey protein(i know its not primal) and some fruit....just had a salad for lunch that put me closer to my daily intake of protein and fats. but am still half way to meeting the my requirement..usually isnt like this due to me always eating breakfast usually

Hey Paul,

I could calculate your calorie requirements/macro nutrient ratios easily, but you might have to play with the numbers as people find that different ratios work better/worse for them. I'm no guru lol...but I do get a weird kind of enjoyment out of formulas and math type stuff. Why did I major in English in college?!

I wouldn't trust the foster farms chicken strips. I looked them up online and they are seasoned and grilled for you. This guarantees they've been coated in MSG and artificial flavors intended to trigger your addictive brain chemistry.

I'm just trying to help you out. Eat real food. It really does make a difference.

You do realize you have read a book and are following a lifestyle from a man who sells protein powder for a living?

That sounds great...if you don't mind. I am just curious to see if I am doing it right. What will you need from me?
